Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously hyped-up, dark Christmas concoction that's either a "true love" or a bit of a meh let-down, depending on your skin chemistry and incense sensibilities. If you want to smell like a sophisticated Christmas Eve service in a bottle, this is your jam.
If you like Layton, you'll love this. It's divisive only because it's so similar to other big hitters, not because it's a bad scent. A great performer, it's a classy crowd-pleaser that won't go unnoticed.
